If you’re looking for a Black Friday phone deal on a phone you can actually afford (instead of financing), you might be considering the Nothing Phone 2 on sale for $559 at Amazon (down from $699). The Nothing Phone 2 is certainly unique, and it stands out from the iPhone and Galaxy crowd. I’d still recommend the Google Pixel 8 for most people, and there’s a Black Friday Pixel 8 sale at Amazon for $549 (down from $699).
Why do I like the Pixel 8 so much better? First of all, it’s water resistant enough to take a dunk in the pool, unlike the Nothing Phone 2, which is only splash proof and less durable. That means it will last longer. Add Google’s pledge to support this phone for seven years and you have a phone that will pay off over time.
The Pixel 8 has much better cameras and a brighter display than the Nothing Phone 2. There are also exclusive features that only come to Google’s Pixel phones, like Magic Editor in the Photos app and a Recorder that can label voices for you.
If you like the cool Nothing Glyph style and want a unique interface and lighting setup, the Nothing Phone 2 is still a fine phone, and this price is the lowest we’ve seen by far. There’s also a great deal for $139 on matching Nothing Ear (2) earbuds, which have noise cancellation and excellent battery life.
